Ps. 80; Ps. 77 [79]; Num. 9:15–23 10:29–36; Rom. 1:1–15; Matt. 17:14–21
Psalm 80
This is a community petition praying for a shepherd to lead; asking for God's mercy; retore us, O God; you have blessed us and we forgot; restore us.
Numbers 9
Moses and the people are at Mt Sinai and celebrate the first Passover there; they celebrated on the first month on the 14th day; all should keep it even the alien in your midst.
Romans 1 | Background - Click here
Paul writes to the believers in Rome in order to get a future speaking engagement but for us write one of the ultimate treatise on the faith; the letter is one of the most complex of Paul's writings; themes developed are righteousness or justice through faith; the first verses are the salutation to the letter that points it written to the community and entreating God's blessings; next is thanking God for the faith they have in Christ Jesus; Paul says he is not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone.
Matthew 17
Jesus is a little irritated at the disciples at their lack of faith in order to heal a man; tells how to show pity as you have been shown pity and the consequences if you don't.

For Joy in God's Creation
O heavenly Father, who has filled the world with beauty: Open our eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that, rejoicing in your whole creation, we may learn to serve you with gladness; for the sake of him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
